The neural mechanisms underlying ground-level spatial navigation have been investigated,
but little is known about other kinds of spatial navigation. Functional magnetic resonance …

Place cells of the rodent hippocampus constitute one of the most striking examples of a
correlation between neuronal activity and complex behaviour in mammals,. These cells …

The hippocampus contains neural representations capable of supporting declarative
memory. Hippocampal place cells are one such representation, firing in one or few locations …

There are currently two major theories about the role of the hippocampus, a distinctive
structure in the back of the temporal lobe. One says that it stores a cognitive map, the other …

Grid cells in the dorsal segment of the medial entorhinal cortex (dMEC) show remarkable
hexagonal activity patterns, at multiple spatial scales, during spatial navigation. It has …

Spatial navigation is a fascinating behavior that is essential for our everyday lives. It involves
nearly all sensory systems, it requires numerous parallel computations, and it engages …

The hippocampus is thought to have a critical role in episodic memory by incorporating the
sensory input of an experience onto a spatial framework embodied by place cells. Although …

The most common behavioral test of hippocampus-dependent, spatial learning and memory
is the Morris water task, and the most commonly studied behavioral correlate of …

Entorhinal cortical grid cells fire in a periodic pattern that tiles space, which is suggestive of a
spatial coordinate system. However, irregularities in the grid pattern as well as responses of …

There is considerable research on the neurobiological mechanisms within the hippocampal
system that support spatial navigation. In this article I review the literature on navigational …
